Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room o

r a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1250 W/m^2.
Required:
What angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 33% of the original value?

Answer:

The answer is "35.6^{\circ}"

Explanation:

The sunlight level of the first panel:

I_1 = \frac{I_o}{2}

When the light of this intensity passes through the second window:

I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} \cos^2 \theta

 \frac{I_2}{I_o} = 0.33 (33\%) \\\\

therefore,  

0.33 = \frac{1}{2} \cos^2 \theta\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 0.66\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{0.66} = 0.8124\\\\\theta = \cos^{-1}( 0.8124) = 35.6^{\circ}\\\\

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.
